Either they showed the video in reverse, or the trucks are actually driving in reverse, watching the road go by

Looks to me like they are driving backwards. There are two people inside both trucks. Both drivers are looking at their side view mirrors as they are driving throughout the whole video. Why if not driving backwards? The passenger in both vehicles are looking straight forward. Why are they there?

TLDR:- He did have a safety harness but was not strapped to the trucks in any way.- The trucks were driving backwards because that would be "the ultimate test" of how much control the driver has.- This video was the first take (lots and lots of practice, though) =D
